I have previously used the streaming capability back when it first came out as well as the hotspot since before Connect+ was a thing. I am trying to get the streaming working again but it seems to have been hidden fully behind the paywall. (Not looking to argue the merits of that system here) I recall after Connect+ came out being able to still use the Hotspot while tethering with my phone, and losing it isn't a big deal other than needing to update my wife's wifi, but I think I remember needing to be on the Hotspot to do casting. My question is, did Rivian remove both of these features to fully behind the connect+ paywall? I thought that if you used phone tethering or if you were connected to WIFI you could use most all of the usual streaming like features of the Rivian? If anyone can recommend how to stream while using tethering I'm sure myself and others without Connect+ would appreciate it.

This yellow R1T quad-motor making this hill climb look easy. The owner had upgraded his wheels to Falken wildpeak at3 all-terrain tires. This hill climb was definitely doable in my dual-motor but I hadn't taken my R1T off-road before this trail run, so I was a little nervous to do this obstacle. Also he had all the fancy driving modes while I was limited to all-terrain, all-purpose and snow mode.
